Hinderer Eklipse Blue - Black – Battle Bronze 3.5in Plain Working Skinny Slicer KEKSKSLHOTWBBZBLBK

The Hinderer Eklipse Blue & Black & Battle Bronze is a masterclass in design, craftsmanship, and functionality, making it an exceptional choice for an everyday carry folding knife. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Hinderer’s dedication to creating tools that combine superior materials, thoughtful engineering, and striking aesthetics. With its dual-toned blue and black G-10 front handle and Battle Bronze stainless steel rear handle, the Eklipse not only delivers dependable performance but also makes a bold visual statement that stands out in any collection.

The centerpiece of this knife is its 3.5-inch skinny slicer blade, crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut is celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, providing a blade that can handle the rigors of daily use and demanding tasks alike. The skinny slicer profile offers precise cutting with a reinforced tip, while the hollow grind enhances slicing efficiency, allowing the blade to glide through materials with ease. At .14 inches thick, the blade strikes an ideal balance between strength and nimbleness. Finished in Hinderer’s Working style, it maintains a rugged, utilitarian appearance that conceals wear and tear while showcasing the knife’s purposeful design.

The handle design perfectly complements the blade’s performance. The front scale is constructed from textured blue and black G-10, offering a secure, comfortable grip while adding a modern, eye-catching look. The rear handle is stainless steel with a Battle Bronze finish, providing structural strength, balance, and a rich metallic contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic. With a closed length of 4.75 inches and an overall length of 8.25 inches, the Eklipse carries comfortably in a pocket while offering a full, confident grip when deployed. Weighing just 4.4 ounces, it’s light enough for daily carry without sacrificing the solid, premium feel that Hinderer knives are known for.

Hinderer’s Tri-Way pivot system allows the user to customize the blade action to personal preference. Choose ball bearings for ultra-smooth deployment, phosphor bronze washers for rugged consistency, or Teflon washers for a more controlled, traditional feel. The blade opens quickly with the flipper tab or ambidextrous thumb studs, and the framelock ensures secure, reliable lockup, giving confidence and stability in every cut.

Practical features further enhance the knife’s everyday utility. A tip-down pocket clip ensures secure and accessible carry, while the lanyard hole provides options for personalization or backup retention. Every element of the Eklipse is designed to maximize functionality while reflecting Hinderer’s attention to detail and commitment to high-quality tools.
